Prime Minister and First Minister of Wales Meetings

Lord Deben Excerpts

Wednesday 7th May 2025 Lords Chamber

[Lord Deben (Con)]

Will the noble Baroness accept that I joined with many of her colleagues in fighting against the Barnett formula, and that the Labour Party strongly attacked the Conservative Government because they did not do anything about it? Why is she now telling us that she is not going to do anything about it, when it is clearly wrong?

[Baroness Anderson of Stoke-on-Trent (Lab)]

My Lords, the Labour Government’s position on the Barnett formula is clear, but I am always open to discussions about how the noble Lord can continue to work with us on these Benches to deliver for the people of the United Kingdom.
